This week, I launched an upgraded version of my educational and entertaining website:
The Jewish Trivia Quiz
http://www.jewish-trivia.com

There are over 800 multiple choice questions in the system.
Level 1 questions are geared to young students and Level 2 questions are geared to older students and adults. There are 14 topics including Chanukah. You can choose your level of play and timer settings.

The new site lets you share questions with your friends.
For example question 829 (level 2) is:
On back of which Israeli coin, in use today, is a picture
of the temple candelabrum (menorah) ?
You can share this question directly with the link:
www.jewish-trivia.com/q829

There are social media buttons to share questions on social networks.

Feedback is welcome!

The Chanukah Page and over 500 Chanukah Videos

Hi Everyone!

Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts Tuesday night, December 16, 2014.

Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication, faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says: "Never lose hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a small band of Maccabees over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who ruled over Israel.

The Chanukah Page includes lesson sites in several languages, videos, songs, English Hebrew vocabulary lists, recipes, games, humor, photos, clipart and a map of the sites of the Maccabees 166-161 BCE.

The address is:
www.jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah.htm

The Chanukah Video Page has links to over 500 cool Chanukah videos at:
http://www.jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm

The video page will be updated several times a week as we get closer to Chanukah. Suggestions for new video additions are welcome.

Enjoy!

Have a good night,
Jacob
